Kyva: New regulatory authorities not reducing level of corruption

The creation of new oversight bodies, in particular the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), does not reduce embezzlement rates in the country, but instead generate and devastate the national budget, Head of the Socialist Party of Ukraine (SPU) Illia Kyva said.

"After the creation of NACP and NABU, has the level of corruption decreased? One can create as much as necessary bodies, but until the law and the judicial system are not working, these will be only additional "doors" where a bribe must be paid," he said on the 112 TV channel.

The politician said that at the present, budget funds are being spent on the creation of new supervisory institutions, allegedly to fight corruption, while they could be used to solve other pressing problems.

"Big money, which could be used for medical support, education and payment of pensions, is being spent from the national budget," he said.

According to Kyva, the reason is the absence of the law and the system of punishment for crimes.

"We are building a state machine, but the base is rotten. It is necessary to change the essence. There is a court, the prosecutor's office and the police. This is enough to destroy crime, corruption, if one is not at the helm of it," he said.

«The Socialist Party of Ukraine has been purified, strengthened and refreshed. We are ready to participate in the political race of the country and change Ukraine for the better!» Illia Kyva said. Socialists of Ukraine is a political force, which must remind that the real power in the country is society - people, citizens of Ukraine. And it is ordinary citizens who will raise Ukraine to a new level, not officials or oligarchs embezzling money! We need the strong order and discipline in order to eliminate internal problems of the country and solve foreign policy issues!
